Yu Rujia had heard a lot about Ma Songhua, but this was the first time she had met him in person, and she admired him quite a bit.

He is a genuine person who goes to the countryside to do practical things, and he has the ability to do so. He has always been striving for his goals and has not engaged in any empty or superficial things.

Yu Rujia readily agreed, "Ma Zhiqing is a man destined for great things. There's no need to get bogged down in such trivial matters. Wait for me a moment, and I'll grab my medicine kit and go with you to Xiafen Brigade."

Ma Songhua was surprised that Yu Rujia didn't mind watching the pigs at all, and said happily, "Thank you, Educated Youth Yu."

Yu Rujia entered the courtyard and saw Huang Xiaohua processing pills. After thinking for a moment, she called her over and said, "Xiaohua, the Xiafen Brigade asked me to go and check on their pigs. Do you want to come with me?"

Huang Xiaohua has been studying medicine for two or three years but has never had any practical experience. Although the subject this time is a pig, she can still learn something by going along.

Huang Xiaohua exclaimed excitedly, "I want to go!"

After settling things at home, Yu Rujia led Huang Xiaohua, who was carrying a medicine box, out of the house and met Ma Songhua's eyes as he looked Huang Xiaohua up and down.

Yu Rujia introduced, "This is Huang Xiaohua from our team. She has been studying medical theory with me for two or three years. I took her to broaden her horizons."

Ma Songhua's expression became more serious: "So you are Yu Zhiqing's outstanding student. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Huang Xiaohua said shyly, "I've only learned a little bit, and I'm far from Master's level. I can't be considered a top disciple."

The Shangfen Brigade and the Xiafen Brigade are close to each other, only a ten-minute walk apart.

The temporary pig farm in Xiafen Brigade was packed with pigs, and the sounds of pigs grunting could be heard. There were layers of rice and pig feed on the ground, showing that they were taking good care of the pigs.

Yu Rujia: "Ma Zhiqing, if you live in a pig farm like this for too long, I doubt many pigs will survive."

Ma Songhua said with a bitter expression, "We know about this, but the brigade is busy saving the crops, and we'll have to deal with the pig farm later. All we can do now is let the pigs out in batches during the day to let them have some fresh air and change their mood."

In the countryside, farming is the main occupation, and everything else is secondary. Even though pig farming greatly increased the income of Xiafen Brigade, when there was a conflict between farming and pig farming, farming was still the priority.

Yu Rujia: "I see you have some disinfectant here, but it doesn't seem to be very effective. How about I prepare some for you to try?"

Ma Songhua: "That's great, thank you for your hard work, educated youth."

Yu Rujia then went with Ma Songhua to see the dozen or so sick pigs that they had taken out separately, and decided on a prescription.

Yu Rujia: "Ma Zhiqing, I've checked the pig. I'll find you some medicine when I get back, and Xiaohua will bring it to you tomorrow or the day after."

She usually only prepares medicine for humans; medicine for pigs needs to be prepared separately.

Ma Songhua: "Everything is in the hands of the educated youth."

With Yu Rujia's intervention, the pigs in Xiafen Brigade gradually recovered, and no new pigs developed the disease, which made Ma Songhua very happy.

If he hadn't insisted on finding Yu Rujia, the doctor who treated people, the situation at the pig farm would definitely have been much worse.

After finishing his work at the brigade, Captain Xu of the Xiafen Brigade made a special trip to deliver a thank-you gift.

Gao Shujing was busy for several days, and the Yu family used kerosene lamps for those days.

After Gao Shujing returned and restored power to the Shangfen Brigade, he immediately went to other brigades to restore power lines.

Although other brigades have apprentices trained by Gao Shujing, they are all prioritizing crops now, and few brigades can spare people to check the circuits. Moreover, they wouldn't feel at ease if Gao Shujing didn't take a look at such a major damage.

Given that Gao Shujing's support mission was scheduled very tightly, so tightly that he didn't even have time to go to the power supply station to collect a thank-you gift, Director Yu sent Shen Yan to do so.

Yu Rujia: "I didn't expect Director Yu to make you come all this way. It's a pity that Shujing went to another brigade, so you couldn't talk to him."

Shen Yan expressed his understanding: "The whole town has suffered a great disaster. Shu Jing must be too busy to spare any time. If he could chat with me now, it wouldn't be my turn to come over. I understand even if you don't say it. Don't worry about it."

Yu Rujia: "When Shujing comes back, I'll tell him about your visit. When he has some free time in town, I'll have him come over and talk to you."

Shen Yan said, "Alright, Shujing is welcome to come see me anytime. Now that I've finished my business, I'll head back to the power supply station."

Yu Rujia: "Comrade Shen, please take care."

Zhang Pandi carried Zhou Beibei, who had twisted her ankle while playing outside, and bumped into Shen Yan, who was about to leave.

Shen Yan suddenly felt that her spring had arrived.

Shen Yan was nearly forty years old when he was injured in a battle and was no longer suitable for the high-intensity training in the army, so he transferred to the power supply station.

I am currently at the deputy section chief level, and my monthly income is over eighty.

When he was in the military, he was surrounded by men, so he didn't have the opportunity to find a partner.

He left the military in his thirties and had the opportunity to find a partner, but unfortunately, after several blind dates, the women he liked didn't like him back, and the women who liked him always felt like something was missing. He's been stuck in this situation ever since.

Upon seeing Zhang Pandi this time, Shen Yan seemed to hear the sound of his heart fluttering. He stopped in his tracks and stared at her, forgetting to blink.

Zhang Pandi was so frightened by his piercing gaze that she unconsciously took a step back and instinctively clenched her fists: "You have guests here, Yu Zhiqing?"

Yu Rujia said, "Yes, but Comrade Shen has finished his business and is about to go back. Comrade Shen, I have something to attend to here, so I won't see you off."

Chen Yan stammered, "No, no need, you're busy, you're busy."

How did the person who was just speaking fluently suddenly become a stutterer? Upon closer inspection, Yu Rujia saw that Shen Yan looked like a pervert.

Goodness, you've got your eye on Zhang Pandi, but you can't be so obvious about it. If this happened outside, people might think you're a pervert.

To avoid startling him, Yu Rujia deliberately urged again, "Comrade Chen, what's wrong?"

Shen Yan said, "Go, go, go, horse, horse, go immediately."

As he spoke, the man stood there dumbfounded and started to walk out, his head still looking towards Zhang Pandi. He accidentally bumped into the wall, which finally woke him up.

Shen Yan was embarrassed and, realizing his predicament, blushed deeply and ran out of the courtyard gate as if his pants were on fire.

With no one outside, Shen Yan's pounding heart gradually calmed down, but the thought of Zhang Pandi made his heart start to flutter again.

Shen Yan glanced up at the Yu family's courtyard gate, his eyelids twitched, and the dog furtively looked around. Good, no one was there.

Shen Yan decisively placed the bicycle against the wall, then stood on it and peered over the wall of the Yu family's house. He could see Yu Rujia and Zhang Pandi talking.
